I've never seen a tile mosaic that looked much better than that. As for D.C., the Lincoln Memorial is very nice. So is the Jefferson Memorial. Most of the war memorials are trite, except for the Korean and Vietnam ones. The WW2 one is sort of bland and featureless.

But Bessie was one neat gal. Your picture inspired me to do a post on her, Miriam:

My condolences, Dick.For a "good" tile mosaic, I'll give you a few quick examples:here, and here, and here, or here" .Or hundreds of thousands other places. Where the author is an artist, not a grant seeker.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
